Preview: PanfobiA
Posted by Jesse | Filed under Previews
Touted as The First RPG For iPhone, PanfobiA was recently announced by the Italian company - Kiki Technology. They have promised a full-length (100+ hours of single player gameplay) old-school console style RPG, in the vain of the older Final Fantasy titles when your characters were sprites and had a 0 polygon count. Though technically the first RPG available for iPhone (as it is currently available) is the title Vay (a port of an old Sega CD game), PanfobiA is on track to be the first RPG designed specifically for the iPhone.
Solid Art Direction
The art direction as seen in the screenshots is really promising and builds up some excitement and anticipation for the games release. As long as they can deliver a solid, engaging story; a comfortable control system, and a good battle engine we could have a solid gam that initiates the seriousness of the iPhone (and iPod Touch) as a true gaming platform.
Kiki Technology promises us “a full rpg story, featuring an old style graphic and new controller experience” with 100_ of single player gameplay. They are also working on some sort of multi-player mode which becomes available after finishing the single player.
Online Gameing Modality, unlocked after finished the solo story, you will be able to use your own character with your own item collected turing the solo adventure in a mmorp endless world
Their translating abilities (as you can see from that quote) are not stellar, so hopefully they get some professional translation done for this game - I would hate to see an RPG with this kind of promise get spoiled with an “All Your Base Are Belong To Us.”
